  • Availability of 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar slips ahead of rumored refresh

    The Touchbar MacBook Pro is a Disposable Embarrassment
    I'd rather have the 2.5GB/sec SSD than a 2.5-inch SATA III one. Even the M.2 form factor NVMe SSDs don't hit the speed that the 15-inch does.

    Guy's welcome to his opinion, but he's basing it off of a lot of false assumptions about intent, and what will happen to Apple's marketshare if they don't kowtow to a very loud, very small portion of Apple's market.
    Yeah, read this guy's "opinion" and it's the same old BS the naysayers were shouting back a few years ago when Apple went all SSD's in their laptop lineup. 
    Same old tired arguments about how with $200 they could add 2TB of spinning disk storage to their laptops while Apple charges you the Apple tax and blah, blah, blah...

    He mentions something about not being able to upgrade to 15TB of storage in one or two years from now because he may need to lug around that much storage anywhere on the planet. Whatever!

    You know, I just realised I have never, ever seen a MacBook outside of a shop.
    maybe they will put a better processor in it, an extra port and drop the price to mere stratospheric levels. I know most school kids are still buying MBAs.
    And my anecdotal evidence is neutralizing yours because off the top of my head, I've seen 4 MacBooks out in the wild. 
    But anecdotal evidence is just that, isn't it?

  • Apple's Tim Cook, other executives urge Texas not to pass anti-trans 'bathroom bill'

    True story here:
    Was at a theatre recently and there was a long lineup outside the women's bathroom during the intermission. 
    This girl had to pee I guess and walked right into the men's room, entered a stall, did her business, washed her hands and went back to her seat. 
    Didn't bother any of us guys in the least bit. I guess in some states she would've been arrested? 

    I also saw a comment about choosing to be gay. Well in that case, can that person give us the exact date he/she decided to be heterosexual?

    ...it quite an experience seeing grown up people (i am assuming you are grown up) making some of the rediculous arguments. this artticle is flawed in so many ways that it doesnt even merit to be talked about. if you are going to diss samsung, first get your facts right: The S8 was released on April 21st and the last time I checked  the month is not over yet. Second, Samsung does make money out of its smart, its actually one of the few android OEM  actually making money out of their smartphones.  Of course  not incomparison to Apple but the fact is they still profit from their smartphones. 

    just a piece of advice, if you are going to make claims especially negative ones about someone get your facts right. 
    It's really funny making grandiose statements about the maturity of others, while you can't even go one sentence without making a serious spelling error, let alone using proper punctuation and capitalization of characters. I did not make any remarks on your grammar because English may not be your first language. It isn't mine either.
    However there is a thing called spell checkers, very important when trying to convey a message in a language not you own.

    You are completely correct. The article was written to diss Samsung. That's basically the only reason it exists.

    No it isn't. It's actually written to diss other publications like CNet or BGR who always compare Apple's current sales figures with previous ones, whereas they provide no comparison whatsoever for Samsung. 5 million is a big number and looks good on headlines but what is it compared to your previous high?
    Here's a link on LinkedIn that basically groups all the raving headlines for the S8. 
    What DED is saying, if that were Apple selling less than half iPhones when compared to the peak iPhone 6 cycle then the sky would be falling.
